Enda and Jim meet with Rob Hannaby from New Zealand Transport Agency

Enda and Jim recently had a lengthy, engaging and very informative meeting with Rob Hannaby, Principal Environmental Specialist from the New Zealand Transport Agency. Rob, an ex-air quality officer from Stoke-on-Trent City Council, contacted AQMRC as he wanted to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses local air quality management processes and the future challenges we face in the UK. Rob envisaged that the experiences of the UK highlighted by Enda and Jim may be beneficial in assisting the New Zealand transport authority in recognising their key role in managing local air quality and the lessons learned may be useful in informing future NZ policy.
